Chapter 649 Rise of the One Piece King
Gulf of Aden, an unnamed sea area.
When the coalition forces ransacked Sirius Island, the [Sirius Pirates], who fled the battlefield in embarrassment, also ushered in drastic changes.
Before the war, the [Sirius Pirates] had more than 25,000 people and owned more than 150 large and small ships. After a great battle, the pirate group not only lost their lair, but the fleet was almost destroyed.
What is even more tragic is that their regiment leader, Evera, was also killed in the battle.
The entire pirate group was suddenly leaderless.
At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the remnants of the pirate group who had fled in all directions finally joined together. According to statistics, less than 6,000 people survived, and there were only more than 20 battleships left.
Accompanying them were Farah and more than 600 members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps].
Knowing that the head of the group, Evera, was killed, internal strife immediately broke out within the pirate group. In order to compete for the position of head, the five leaders refused to accept the other, and even fought at each other. It was about to turn into a bloody conflict.
For the already crumbling pirate group, it was even worse.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
[Sirius Pirates] Even if they suffer heavy losses, they are still a pirate force that cannot be ignored in the Gulf of Aden. Don't forget, the other two pirate regiments also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
The balance of power of the three major pirate regiments in the Gulf of Aden has not been broken.
Just like this, the throne of the leader is very attractive to the leaders.
At this moment, Farah, a sea legend destined to shine in the Gulf of Aden, stepped forward at the right time and started the most brilliant journey of One Piece in his life.
For Farah, there is no lack of complaints within the pirate group. It was the inaction of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] at the critical moment that led to the reversal of the entire battle.
The previous five leaders had no time to take care of Farah and his party in order to compete for the throne of the head of the regiment. Now that Farah has taken the initiative to stand up, isn't he looking for his own death? !
actually not.
Farah is a villain, especially fond of intrigue. Being able to cooperate closely with the three major pirate groups, especially the Sirius pirate group, how could Farah have no cards?
Otherwise, the [Sirius Pirates] would have thrown them into the sea to feed the fish on the way to escape.
Not to mention Ouyang Shuo, even the Somali players were puzzled as to why Farah betrayed him.
As the leader of the largest guild in Somalia and the number one expert in the country, it stands to reason that Farah has achieved great success. Why would he take risks, collude with pirates, and try to harm his own players?
The root of it is that the pirate group can bring him huge benefits.
As early as the second year of Gaia, by chance, Farah colluded with the Sirius Pirates, one in the open and the other in the dark, and cooperated with each other.
Farah took advantage of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps]'s huge influence in the country to collect relevant information such as the voyage routes of domestic merchant ships, and then passed it on to the Sirius Pirates Corps, who then started to rob merchant ships.
The wealth obtained by looting is divided between the two, which is naturally a win-win situation.
In just one year, it brought Farah a huge income of 150,000 gold coins.
At the same time, Farah is also an ambitious person with great greed and appetite.
One year later, just cooperating with the pirate group and earning 30% of the profit was no longer enough to satisfy Farah's appetite. Thoroughly controlling the pirate group, making it a secret branch of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group], monopolizing the looted wealth, is Farah's real goal.
Farah began to use the looted wealth to consciously cultivate cronies within the pirate group. At the beginning of the third year of Gaia, Farah was appointed as the second leader by the head of the group, Efya.
This unexpected appointment is the result of the secret promotion of Farah's cronies. It can be seen from this that Farah's deep roots in the pirate group are already a faint threat to Evera's rule.
Efuya noticed this and was about to take action. Farah alertly sent a tempting big cake: unite with the three major pirate groups, set up an ambush, and defeat the Somali coastal navy in one fell swoop.
The Somali Navy has always been the biggest obstacle for pirates to plunder merchant ships.
Being able to get rid of this thorn in the side in one fell swoop, the three major pirate groups simply cannot refuse such a temptation. The two sides naturally hit it off, and this is how the previous story happened.
The only variable is estimated to be the "untimely" appearance of the ocean-going fleet in Somalia. Otherwise, the tragedy of the Somali National Navy in the previous life will surely be repeated.
That's why Farah set up traps again and again in the Berbera port, just to eliminate this variable and get things back on track.
At the same time, the appearance of the ocean-going fleet made Farah have other thoughts. It has to be said that most people with inflated ambitions cannot control their desires.
After discovering that the leader of the pirate group, Evera, was jealous, Farah has been thinking about how to get rid of Everya, and then support a puppet leader within the pirate group to completely control the pirate group.
The emergence of the ocean-going fleet is an opportunity.
Farah's plan was to use the ocean-going fleet to inflict heavy damage on the pirate group. He was taking this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and control the pirate group, killing two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that Farah has never heard an old saying: soldiers are like fire, and if you don't fight, you will set yourself on fire.
Farah overestimated his ability to play with fire, and underestimated the power of the "fire" of the ocean-going fleet. In the end, not only did he fail to use the fire, but he was burned by the fire.
The lessons are not insignificant.
Fortunately, the immortal Farah gave him a glimmer of life in a desperate situation. The head of the group, Evera, was killed, and the [Sirius Pirates] fell into civil strife, giving Farah a chance to rise again.
He was keenly aware that the opportunity to completely control the pirate group had quietly arrived.
Although the leaders have some complaints about Farah, Farah is the second leader of the regiment after all, and he is the veritable number two. After the death of the head of the regiment, Farah's status became more and more important.
"If we can win the support of the second leader, the head of the regiment will be stable." The leaders thought so.
In the eyes of the pirate leader, Farah was a stranger who was going to go ashore after all, and it was impossible to compete with them for the throne of captain. Only in this way can there be the above-mentioned naive thoughts.
They didn't know that Farah would never go back.
[Cheetah Mercenary Corps]'s foundation in Somalia was uprooted by the major guilds, and even the headquarters was taken over. If Farah dared to go ashore, he might be beaten to death by Somali players.
"Traitor Farah" has been permanently nailed to the pillar of shame in Somali history.
This is exactly: one careless move, and the whole game is lost.
...
After Farah stepped forward to mediate, the five leaders stopped fighting, finally resolving the internal strife. In the evening, Farah warmly invited the five leaders to the ship to discuss the future of the pirate group.
With a different mind, at seven o'clock in the evening, the five leaders went to the banquet on time.
As the mysterious second leader of the pirate group, Farah alone owns a pirate ship. Apart from the sailors, there are 600 members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group] on board.
Through the forum, they learned about the miserable experiences of their colleagues who were still in the country, and they were all depressed. Inevitably, he even had complaints about the head of the team, Farah.
It was Farah's decision that completely dragged them into the abyss.
However, Farah is now their only reliance. Only by continuing to walk with the leader can they find a way out. Going back can only be a dead end.
It can be seen that Farah's wrist is brilliant.
"For the weak, they are naturally obedient and lazy. As long as they are not driven into a dead end and given a glimmer of hope, they will be at the mercy of the strong." This is Farah's life motto summarized.
On the battlefield, under such circumstances, the members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Corps] were able to obey the command of his commander and resolutely betrayed, which is enough to show the high prestige of Farah in the Mercenary Corps.
Not to mention other things, at least in terms of buying people's hearts, Farah deserves the praise of the world.
Just before dinner, the head of the group once again pointed out the maze to them and brought them hope. After listening to the team leader's plan, the team leaders' eyes were hot, and their fighting spirit was rekindled.
"Done!"
...
In the cabin, Farah and the five bosses mingled with each other, very lively. When the wine was hot, the shadow of defeat during the day seemed to start to dissipate along with the drunkenness welling up in his heart.
It is exactly: If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will worry about it tomorrow.
But the leaders didn't know that this was a complete Hongmen banquet.
Farah does not know the allusion [Hongmen Banquet], but as a natural conspirator, it does not prevent him from realizing a similar method on his own.
After drinking for three rounds, I saw Farah suddenly drop the wine glass, "Boom!", which was extremely ear-piercing.
"Uh?"
The five bosses, who were already a little drunk, saw more than twenty assassins with sharp blades pouring into the cabin for some reason, and attacked them without saying a word.
The cold light was shining, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.
This time, the drunkenness of the leaders dissipated completely, and they broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to pick up his weapon to fight back, but it was too late.
In less than five minutes, between the sparks of calcium carbide, the leaders of the five pirate groups were all hacked to death by the player with random knives, and died on the spot.
In this way, the pirate group is the real leaderless group.
The leader was killed, and the pirates were in an uproar, clamoring to avenge their respective leaders.
Seeing that it was about to turn into a melee.
At this moment, Farah's cronies cultivated in the pirate group finally showed their power. They immediately took action, subduing the most vicious companions, while shouting that the second leader will succeed the head of the regiment.
"At this time of crisis, only the two leaders can lead us out of the predicament." The cronies said.
Seeing this, the pirate felt dejected. They looked around, but there was no hope of turning things around. This can only succumb to reality. In a fundamental sense, pirates are not a group of loyal people.
In this way, Farah successfully ascended to the throne of captain and started his career as One Piece.
